You will see a lot of Jamaican influences this season and I&#8217;m not just talking about the accent but the music and lifestyle as well.<\/p>\n<p>Driven by the strong belief that Harlem is his birthright, the Bushmaster is hell bent on taking what is his-and that is everything that Mariah Dillard <i>(Stokes, Mariah Stokes) <\/i>who is played by Alfie Woodard owns and loves. It must be said that Woodard delivers powerful performances in this season, that I think are even deserving of an Emmy nomination.
